joysticks?

I was looking to buy a joystick for flight simulator and any other flying game i may buy and was just wondering if you could help me out. Here is one I was checking out:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826102501

If you have any experience with that or any other joysticks could you please let me know what you like and dislike. Also I noticed that doesnot have force feedback. Does it really make a difference and if so any recomendations?

Thanks

I have messed around with those in stores and it seems to be of good quality. I think it would work great with Flight Simulator. The only joysticks that I have actually used at the Microsoft Sidewinder's. They were the best around but they don't make them anymore. I'm taking good care of mine.

Yup. Had my sidewinder about 6 years now, still works like new, and it's been getting a real workout since the IL2 games hit the scene.

i searched ebay and there are a bunch of variations of the sidewinder. Which one do you have? I kinda like the force feedback feature but why would they stop making those? I also cant find to seem any new joysticks with the force feedback
